Chapter 16: A Good Calculation



When Tang Wanning heard her father's words, her eyes lit up. In this case, couldn't she follow him into the mountains?

Although they were only sweeping the outskirts of the mountains, it was still a large area. If she could follow behind, she would probably earn a lot of points.

Unfortunately, she has to go to the military area with her mother tomorrow, and she doesn’t know if she can make it in time.

Su Meijuan poured herself a glass of water and took a big gulp. "The village chief is indeed thoughtful. Otherwise, who would dare to go up the mountain in the future?"

"What happened on the mountain? What happened?" Tang Huaixu's voice arrived before he even showed up.

"Nothing." Su Meijuan looked at her son anxiously, "How is it? Did you buy the ticket?"

"I bought it, I bought it, two tickets to the provincial capital for tomorrow afternoon." Tang Huaixu looked at Su Meijuan aggrievedly, "Mom, can't you really take me with you? I also want to go and vent my anger on my sister."

Su Meijuan knew that the siblings had a good relationship, but adding one more person would cost a lot more money. "No, I'll take care of your sister's venting. You and your father just stay home and wait for news from us.

Besides, your sister and I are leaving now, and there is a lot of work to do at home. Do you want to tire your father to death?"

After hearing what his mother said, Tang Huaixu lowered his head dejectedly, but he also knew that his mother was right and there were still a lot of things waiting to be done at home.

"Okay, then if anything happens, be sure to call back."

"I know, I know. I really don't know if I am your mother or you are my mother."

In the past, it was only Su Meijuan who had to repeatedly give instructions to others. When was it someone else's turn to give instructions to her? It was really annoying.

It seems that she needs to nag less in the future. Just say it once or twice so that the children can remember it.

Seeing that he was being disliked, Tang Huaixu became more and more depressed, and looked as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.

Seeing this, Tang Wanning curled his lips and said, "Okay, don't be depressed. When I come back from the provincial capital, I'll bring you the latest Warrior sneakers."

Hearing this, Tang Huaixu's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Thank you, sister." Tang Huaixu smiled brightly, "Sister, mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of dad at home."

Almost every one of his classmates owns Feili sneakers. It would be a lie to say that he is not envious. However, his family has not been well off in the past two years, so Tang Huaixu has never mentioned it on his own initiative.

Now that his sister actually took the initiative to mention buying him sneakers, it would be strange if Tang Huaixu was not happy.

Seeing Tang Huaixu happily going back to his room to do his homework, Tang Wanning couldn't help but smile. After all, he was still a child and could be coaxed into submission with just a pair of sneakers.

"Mom, I'm going back to my room to rest. I just ran around and I'm exhausted."

Su Meijuan smiled and waved her hand, "Go, go."

After returning to the room, Tang Wanning began to check the lotus leaf fern on the black soil. This made her confused.

Because Tang Wanning found that the herb seemed to have grown a lot. Could it be her illusion?

Or can black soil accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs and plants?

Driven by strong curiosity, Tang Wanning went to the main room, found a small bag of radish seeds, scattered them, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Even though she only ran for a short while in the afternoon, she felt more tired than if she had been digging wild vegetables for the whole afternoon. After all, the situation was urgent and she could have lost her life if she was not careful. She was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Tang Wanning slept until around five in the afternoon, then she woke up refreshed. As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw her parents and younger brother making dumplings.

"Mom and Dad, are we having dumplings tonight?"

Su Meijuan answered while making dumplings, "I have to take the train tomorrow. The food on the train is not good, and I have to be alert all the time, so I wanted to have a good meal before leaving."

"Let me wash my hands, and then we can wrap it together."

"It's almost all wrapped up, so don't get involved."

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and boil some water. Once you're done wrapping, you can put it in the pot right away."

Seeing her daughter couldn't sit still, Su Meijuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."

After getting the consent, Tang Wanning jumped out of the main hall, but as soon as he came out, he saw Bai Xiuying with a smile on her face.

What bad luck.

But when Tang Wanning thought about emptying the Xu family home that night, he started laughing again, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Wanning, I came here this time because I have something to tell you." Bai Xiuying smiled brightly, "By the way, are your parents home?"

Inside the house, Tang Dehou and his wife heard Bai Xiuying's voice and were so angry that they almost bit their back teeth off. Tang Huaixu was also so angry that his face turned ashen.

But now is not the time to fall out. If they do, Xu Zhenhua will definitely be on guard against them, causing unnecessary trouble.

Besides, wouldn’t it be much more satisfying to expose Xu Zhenhua’s true face in front of his leaders and comrades than to engage in some minor trouble in the village?

Thinking of this, Su Meijuan whispered to her husband and son, "Control your expressions. Even if you are dissatisfied, don't show it. Don't disrupt Ningning's plan."

When they thought of their daughter's (sister's) plan, the disgust on their faces disappeared.

Seeing this, Su Meijuan walked out with peace of mind, "My mother-in-law is here? Come in and sit down."

"No, no, I'll just say a few words and leave."

Bai Xiuying looked embarrassed, "It's like this, after a distant relative of mine learned that Zhenhua had passed away, he wanted to adopt his youngest son into our family.

They have too many children and can't afford to raise all of them, so I want to go over with Lao Xu to take a look. If it's suitable, we can take the child away and adopt him under the names of Wan Ning and Zhenhua.

I don't know how long it will take me to come back, so I'd like to trouble you to help take care of the crops in the fields and the livestock at home."

After saying that, Bai Xiuying looked at Su Meijuan and said solemnly, "Mother-in-law, don't worry. If Wan Ning wants to remarry, the child will be raised by me and Lao Xu. We will never drag Wan Ning down."

Tang Wanning remembered that Bai Xiuying had done something similar in her previous life. Now that she thought about it, this was a precautionary measure for her and her family.

This is for the purpose of smoothly taking in Xu Zhenhua and Wu Lifang's child to raise later. Although it is not known whether the baby is a boy or a girl, as long as they get married, they will have a boy sooner or later.

At that time, it would be natural for me to bring the child to my side and raise him, which would also make up for the regret of my son not being around.

What a good calculation!

However, in her previous life, Su Meijuan strongly refused after hearing what Bai Xiuying said. After all, her daughter was already having a hard time at the time and often couldn't even get enough to eat.

If we bring another child, won’t my daughter’s life be even more difficult in the future?
